5 Awesome LGBT Video Game Characters

If you're looking for more equality in your video games, here's a list of 5 awesome video game characters that are on the queer spectrum. Tired of the white, heterosexual male pandering in gaming? This list will be a breath of fresh air. Come add your own pick if I missed a favorite of yours.

I have nothing against it as an idea, but it completely undermines equality by specifically singling yourself out as "different". I would say the same of a race specific convention or a gender specific convention.

Poison is not a tranny. In the Japanese version (the real home, origin etc.) has her specifically as a woman. It was changed to avoid a backlash from woman activists groups in the US (as other regions got the true female version). All real sf fans acknowledge her as female only the damn (no offense) LGBT community see her as otherwise.

Yeah again after she was already classified as female everywhere else (and by true sf fans) but the US. Why argue with you guys though? Ya becoming as annoying as the "girl gamers" which I never had a problem with until ya keep trying to slap it on our faces. Geez man im about to become a contributor to void these articles and sites

Just play the game, no one needs to know who you are and what you are (cause frankly I don't care who you are). All I care about is the game and if youre helping in said game. I'm tired of you guys just trying to slap all this unnecessary crap at us.

For all you who have a problem with this article let me ask you this...

Remember the game "Playboy the Mansion" that you pleasured yourself to? A gay guy created it. His name is Jeb Havens.If it wasn't for him, you wouldn't have seen the boobs. And he is only one of many lgbt that are in the industry making the games you love. So take your homophobia elsewhere. Gay and gamer are forever linked and there isn't anything you can do about it.

To answer your question, AnimeRaven, it has to do with intolerance. Intolerance towards black people gave them race specific benefits such as the United Negro College fund, (which should be renamed if they want to stay PC IMO), the Black Panthers and many other black related specialties. If black people had not been discriminated against after slavery was abolished there wouldn't have been a need.

Since gay people are so deeply hated on, it takes things like this to show, that much like black people, other than one small thing they are no different than you or I. But to break through the intolerance so acceptance is mainstream, you need to keep it in the public's mind. I use to be very against gay people, but then I made friends with one of them. And I found out most of what was put out there was lies and garbage. He was a great guy and a wonderful friend. But not everyone has, or is willing to take the time, to have such an experience. And no, we didn't get gay together. We went hunting. Yes, gay people hunt too.

The more people hate on something the louder the truth needs to be. the day lgbt people are seen just as people is when things like the Gaymer convention will no longer be necessarily. I had the guts to open up my tolerance to someone different than me, and I reaped the rewards, and lots of venison, because of it.
